Alright!" Zhao Yuhui nodded vigorously. "He also sent me a photo, Qin Hongyuan's two daughters were both taken to the club by him.""Big brother, I'm afraid something has happened to the Lu army!" Zhao...]>

"Senior brother, you're here just in time, that fat pig dared to hit me, quickly help me cripple him!"

Before that young master saw the man, he shouted loudly.

"Hmm!" The man glanced at the young master's state, then turned to Xuan Pang and spoke in a deep voice: "Brother, wasn't your hand a little heavy"

"Have an opinion" Xuan Pang asked faintly.

"Since you're also a martial artist, perhaps we could move to another place and spar" A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes.

"I'm busy!" Xuanpang waved his hand dismissively. "If you want to get your hands dirty, do it quickly. We still have to go and celebrate the birthday of Lord Xue!"

The man furrowed his brow.

"Xuan Shao, this matter is indeed Tian Shao's fault first. Could you give me a thin sheet of noodles and let bygones be bygones" Xue Zhixuan interrupted his words.

"Mr. Shen and his companions came here specifically to celebrate my uncle's birthday. If Mr. Quan truly wants to spar with this gentleman, perhaps we could discuss it later"

"Since Young Master Xuan has spoken, there's naturally no problem." The man nodded and then looked at Xuan Pang again: "I'll be waiting for you. If you're a man, don't act like a turtle hiding its head."

After finishing, without waiting for Xuan Pang's response, he turned and left.

"Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry to have caused you all trouble. I apologize deeply." Xue Zhixuan then looked at Shen Le.

"Hee hee, Master Xue is too polite!" Shen Le smiled faintly: "I wonder where Master Xue is"

"Uncle is receiving guests in the house, please come this way, Mr. Shen!" Xue Zhixuan made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you!" Shen Le glanced at Ling Hao, then walked towards a villa not far away. Xuan Pang and Tang Lin followed closely behind.

"Brother, just now that young master was Xue Zhixuan, the nephew of Xue Zhongrui, the head of the Xue clan." After Shen Le and his party left, the judge turned to Ling Hao and spoke.

"Xue Zhongrui lost his wife early in life and only had one daughter named Xue Biqian."

According to my understanding, both Xue Zhixuan and Xue Biqi are disciples of a certain sect and rarely return to Jianghai on weekdays.

“Oh Is that so” Ling Hao raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Xue Zhixuan was already a full-fledged war general at such a young age, it turns out he's a sect disciple!

Hidden families and ancient martial sects are two other forces in Daxia that cannot be ignored besides the aristocratic clans. In terms of combat strength, they far surpass the aristocratic clans.

Many sects and clans have existed for thousands of years, remaining steadfast amidst societal changes. There are reasons for this enduring presence.

The Xuanmen and Moge are sects that have been passed down for over a thousand years!

"Big brother, may I take a stroll around" the judge then asked.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

After the magistrate left, Ling Hao glanced again into the depths of the manor. A breath of energy from a Zhanzong realm expert was faintly discernible.

His cultivation level has now recovered to the War Emperor realm. Even if the other party intentionally conceals their aura, how could they escape his spiritual sense

After a moment's thought, he walked toward a garden in the northwest corner of the estate.

Before Xuan Pang said that two auras of the War Venerable Realm emanated from there, he wanted to see who was so powerful.

Meanwhile, Shen Le and the other two entered the villa hall under Xue Zhixuan's guidance.

Three people looked around and saw that besides a middle-aged man with a square face, there were also several men and women sitting in the hall.

The oldest was a man in his sixties, dressed in Taoist robes. He had snow-white hair and a youthful face, with a full forehead and deep eyes. An aura surrounded him.

After scanning the old man up and down, Xuan Pang narrowed his eyes slightly. The other party's cultivation was not weak, with the strength of a half-step battle emperor!

"Father, Mr. Shen is here!" Xue Zhixuan looked at one of the middle-aged men and spoke.

"Greetings, Mr. Shen! It's an honor to have you here. Please accept our apologies for the lack of proper welcome." Xue Zhongkun, the second-in-command of the Xue family clan, stood up to greet him.

"Master Xue, you're too kind!" Shen Le glanced around the room and didn't see Xue Zhongrui. Then he asked, "Is Master Xue not here"

"My older brother is busy, he'll be here right away." Xue Zhunkun smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, please have a seat!"

"Thank you!" Shen Le nodded and sat down on the sofa with Xuan Pang. Tang Lin stood behind the two of them.

"Time for tea!" Xue Zhongkun waved his hand.

A woman in a cheongsam responded and poured two cups of tea for Shen Le and Xuan Pang.

"Mr. Shen, things have been a bit unsettled in Jiang Hai recently!" Xue Zhongkun then turned to Shen Le and spoke.

"Hee hee, yes!" Shen Le raised her teacup and took a sip.

"I wonder what Mr. Shen thinks of the three great families" Xue Zhongkun continued.

"Xue Er Dangjia, you flatter me. I'm just a small merchant. What could I possibly have to say" Shen Le smiled.

However, the three of them did go a bit too far. A gentleman loves wealth but seeks it through proper means. If you pursue wealth without regard for morality, you are digging your own grave.

"As the saying goes, one who frequents the river bank will inevitably get their shoes wet!"

"Well, then!" Xue Zhongkun smiled. "I wonder what Mr. Shen's thoughts are on the future of Jianghai"

"Still the same, I'm just a businessman. I don't have the ability or interest to think on such a grand scale." Shen Le put down his teacup and replied calmly.

"Mr. Shen is too modest!" Xue Zhongkun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Xue has an immature idea, I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested."

"Is that so I wonder who Mr. Xue Er is referring to" Shen Le asked.

"Jiang Hai's market is huge, no single company could monopolize it." Xue Zhongkun lit a cigar and took a puff.

"Our XUE family is interested in jointly investing with Mr. Shen to establish a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions. We can all make money together. What do you think, Mr. Shen"

"Oh" Shen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Lord Xue Er's idea is good, but Shen is a small business, and I don't have such a big appetite. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Lord Er."

"Hehehe, Mr. Shen is too humble. If Mr. Shen's business is only a small one, then the others can only be considered small workshops." Xue Zhongkun took a puff of his cigar and his tone became slightly heavier.

"I hope Mr. Shen will seriously consider my proposal!"

"Hehehe, I'm so sorry, you don't have to consider me for this. Perhaps the second master could choose someone else" Shen Le responded calmly.

"You really have no shame! I cooperated with you because I gave you a chance. Do you really think I'm begging you" A young man on the sofa spoke in a low voice.

"Presumptuous!" Tang Lin said coldly, "How dare you speak to me like that"

"Old man, shut your mouth! You have no say in this!" The young man glared at Tang Lin: "If you say another word, I'll throw you out!"

"Damn it!" Tang Lin roared, "You"

"Mr. Lin!" Shen Le interrupted him, then looked at Xue Zhongkun.

"Master Xue Er, I came here today especially to celebrate Master Xue's birthday. Since he is not available, I will take my leave!"

After finishing, he exchanged glances with Xuan Pang and stood up.

"Hmph!" The young man snorted coldly.

"Today, if you don't agree to this, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place!"shable by death!""Is that so Then do you know that Yǐngmén has the power to strike first and then report" Just then, a man's voice rang out again.Then, Ling Hao and Lu Yue strolled over.They received...
